The book's cover is primarily black and red. Red is a strong color that evokes sentiments of passion and violence. Black is a solemn color that conjures up images of mystery and death. Both hues may be seen in horror and thriller films. From the start, the colors create a tense atmosphere. On a red backdrop, a black shadow. This sets the right tone for the reader to enjoy the work. The book's cover, in my opinion, is well-chosen.

The protagonist's shadow behind the title text is enticing enough to make you want to read this book. The book cover is well-designed to pique the interest of curious readers.

I think the book cover is great. The use of a silhouette, as well as the red and black colors, was excellent. With a silhouette, readers can visualize their protagonist in any way they like, and the colors chosen convey seriousness

I love the design of the book cover and how it links with the three phrases on the book: "His building. His genius. His darkness."

"His building." This phrase on the cover is conveyed in the way in which the title of the book on the cover is layed out almost like a skyscraper, with a broad base and narrowing inwards the higher it goes.

"His genius" is highlighted in the posture of the silhouette, looking to be pondering some great problem as he racks his brain for a solution or idea.

"His darkness" ties nicely in with the black silhouette of a man, which is likely of the main character.

These phrases and the way they are conveyed through the imagery and textual style of the cover is subtle, yet beautifully and cleverly designed.

While it is said not to judge a book by its cover, this particular cover got me attracted, from the fonts to the colours to the images. I think it was well planned and the aim achieved

I have not read this book yet and depending on a cover, I would not want to read it. I like the silhouette and the emotion it expresses, moreover, red and black color really catches an eye and promise some intriguing plot. However, it is the way and font of the title that displeasing for me. Anyway, I heard it is a great book, so it is going to my "want to read" shelf.

I like the mix of different colors, especially the way the font was written on the cover of the book. I thought it was pretty creative. Most book titles aren't like that. I also like that there was a silhouette because I like to make my imagination take control and not have to stick to one image.

Personally, the book cover gives a retro feel to the reader. But apart from that, does not seem to give any hints or relate in any way to the story. Nonetheless, the cover is indeed eye-catchy and may grab the attention of a prospective reader.

The book cover design is ingenious and full of meaning. At a glance, I had the general idea that the story is about a building and there is something foreboding as well.

Never judge a book by its cover. But in today’s world, the first impression is the outer cover of any book. I liked the silhouette image on the cover because of a sense of suspense in it. The cover speaks a lot about the turmoil in the life of the protagonist.

I feel like it is a more immersive experience if some things are left up to the reader after being given a starting point. If everything was detailed there would be nothing to wonder about or personalise. I believe they were trying the same thing with the cover.

After reading the book, I love the cover. I think the pose and shape of the silhouette tells so much about the protagonist. However, I have to say, I am not sure I would have been interested in the book based solely on the cover. Without understanding the context of the book, the cover is almost bland.

The book cover is promising enough to interest curious readers like me. I had to admit that the author really delivered. From my understanding of the little art on the book cover, it tells us about a lost individual who is struggling to get back on his feet.

I quite like the placement of the font, it serves to look like a building and is easy to read. However I don't think the silhouette or the red background really intrigues the reader. Had I not previously read the book I would not have given it a chance from its lackluster cover.

I actually think the book cover shared vital information about the Freedom Building's content. We actually know that the building is a strong factor in the book and the silhouette is also important in the mystery of the real builder of the Zenith building.
